Mom Violy and Carmina’s dining experience at Dean & DeLuca

  Mom Violy told me she wanted to order the Paella Negra from Dean & Deluca. Carmina suggested we dine in since we’d never really tried their main courses, always just getting takeout with the cream puffs . Mom Violy agreed, and we arrived about thirty minutes before the lunch rush began. The service was very slow, even though we had ordered ahead of time. They mistakenly brought out the Paella Valenciana , despite Mom Violy repeating the order three times to the person who took it. It turned out the cook on duty made the error, even though it was written down clearly. We know Paella Negra takes a long time to prepare, which is why Mom Violy had requested it to be cooked beforehand. She wanted it as her main meal, but because of the mix-up and feeling hungry, she took a piece of Carmina’s Turkey Club Sandwich and asked for the bacon on the side. I didn’t expect the turkey to be just one piece, and the bread was toasted so hard that it removed one layer of the sandwich. Since ...

Magic Flakes Cheese Flavor Crackers

  Magic flakes in cheese flavor remind me the imported goldfish crackers or cheese it in our local version. It may not look the same by its shape of a fish or square shape ours look like a basic cracker that is close to what I miss eating back in California in every food there is always something to take its place no matter what food you crave. Anything is possible when it comes to food ventures in Carmina Lifestyle a place you can seek something new. Magic Flakes are made by Jack n Jill in one package is 10 packs inside for the price of PHP 47.00 ($0.94). In each package has four pieces in one pack to eat per serving enough for a small snack to bring along with you where ever you go. Note: I am not selling Magic Flakes Cheese Flavor Crackers just my favorite snack made in the Philippines.

Panda Express Chinese Kitchen

  Eating Panda Express Chinese Kitchen brings back so many great memories of my hometown. My mom used to buy it at Nordstrom Rack in the Marina in San Leandro Shopping Mall after our shopping trips, and we’d take it home for lunch or dinner. Now, I can enjoy my favorite food without needing to fly back to California. For those unfamiliar with Panda Express, you can create a plate with two or three entrées and a side of your choice. The picture shown features Kung Pao Chicken , Eggplant Tofu , and Chow Mein . Kung Pao Chicken Eggplant Tofu Chow Mein The plate for two entree and side is PHP 330.00 ($6.60) Bowl: 1 Entrée and 1 Side of your choice Orange Chicken with Fried Rice PHP 234.00 ($4.68) I couldn't stop laughing at the size of the small entrée of Kung Pao Chicken. I think I made a big mistake with the size selection since this is my first time ordering from the Philippines. It was online, so I had no clue how the sizes would compare to California. Oh well, it's here now...

Citron and Ginger Tea

Here I go again going on my health drinking tea ventures when my ginger tea is running low I begin looking for something new to try. I love any tea made from Korea especially ginger with honey tea. No one probably knows there are so many company making different types of ginger tea with other ingredients combine to make it all something new for us to try. I keep venturing on my online shopping. I get the chance to try each one and see what taste it has to determine on my own research that I like the best one day I will be able to let everyone know once I finish my ventures of ginger tea. What is citron? Citron is a fruit from the same as a lemon and lime the only difference is based from the skin being bright yellow on the color.  Either way citron and ginger are both healthy for you when it comes in finding a healthy tea. From opening the bottle this is how it looks like from the inside the taste is not sour when you can imagine having citron and ginger something you can drink eve...
